The Mikie Show is a bimonthly half hour radio variety show. We're here to raise your spirits. If you have no spirits, a glass of iced tea will do. It's fun and funny. Sometimes subtle. There's a little theater. Let's not forget corny—but it's the good kind of corny. There's guest interviews, a quiz and we always have some news. There's also a cast of, well, characters. So much really how can you resist? Thanks for tuning in!
